LoginStatus redirect works only in explorer

Question

I work with the Membership system in my project's masterpage and I'm trying to implement a LoginStatus control that will allow to loging/logout.

The control's login/logout link only works in internet explorer, but in firefox or chrome it's not clickable. is there anything I should add?

here is my control:

<asp:LoginStatus ID="LoginStatus1" runat="server" 
                                    LoginText="התחבר" 
                                    LogoutText="התנתק" 
                                    LogoutPageUrl="~/Login.aspx" 
                                    LogoutAction="Redirect"/>

EDIT

I tried to move the LoginStatus control to the footer and the link works. Probably just like Bartdude mentioned, it's a css problem. But I have no idea what is causing it. I'm sure you guys will know.

Here is my html part:

 <header>
            <div class="clearfix""></div>
            <div class="site_logo"><img src="assets/img/act_logo2.jpg" style="height:100px; width:200px;" />
                </div>
            <div class="clearfix"></div>
            <hr class="customHR" />
            <div class="TopNav">
                <div id="aspLoginStatus">
                    <asp:LoginName ID="LoginName1" runat="server" FormatString ="Welcome, {0}" />

                    <asp:LoginStatus ID="LoginStatus1" runat="server" 
                                    LoginText="התחבר" 
                                    LogoutText="התנתק" 
                                    LogoutPageUrl="~/Login.aspx" 
                                    LogoutAction="Redirect" 
                                     />


                </div>

Answer 1

I once had a similar issue I couldn't understand. Of course it's hard to tell with the info we have if you're having the same kind of issue but still...

My problem was actually linked to the HTML integration : the CSS was such that another element overlayed the link, while with a transparent background so you couldn't see it was over.

Another thing I would check is if there's no javascript error. As linkbuttons are basically triggering underlying javascript, it's possible a javascript error because of a IE-only code is preventing other browsers to work correctly.

One thing I'm quite sure is that you shouldn't look for the solution in your server-side code, as the difference seems to be on client side.

Answer 2

Solved it by adding a z-index property, and so the control was above all css.
